a cost cutting measure the new chief executive has said the financial institution is scaling back its presence in the us and will focus more in europe according to reports one in every ten employees is facing the chop the cuts could extend into twenty nine. in the last making linder is expected to announce the measures the head of its annual general meeting on thursday. and joining us from georgia mark or to frankfurt you know she's on the stock exchange but it's the second city still tell us about these bank is out of work what shareholders think about it usually they like job cuts. well remember that this really is the first shareholders benefit now benefit now the job cuts are there for the new c.e.o. to be able to show that he has what it takes to be able to take the tough decisions needed to steer door to bank back to profitability as bank shares jumped on the

news although they've since gone back down but how they really feel about it this move will be made plain tomorrow during that shareholders meeting that you mentioned for now it's worth bearing in mind that one of the key reasons that his predecessor john cry and had to go last month was because shareholders were dissatisfied at the pace and the depth of the restructure i made three last making years for a dollar to a bank so in the last years signs of an excess in the last weeks rather signs of an accelerated restructure have been accumulating for example deutsche bank and now it's thought it would be moving to smaller offices in new york that it would be shutting down its oil and gas consulting outfit in euston several senior level executives have also left the bank in the last week indicating that something big was on the horizon general didn't know where the reported cuts are going to be is it going to be the you way. well the reporting so far seems to indicate that the

cuts will be everywhere and all the regions where deutsche bank operates across all levels of the operation so retail banking investment banking assets asset management at its subsidiary post a bank it's also it's already working on cutting its activities than us equities but it's also started to reduce operations elsewhere like in. central europe africa and the middle east so the supervisory board is apparently getting together tonight in order to consult on these plans and these targets with the results being presented tomorrow at that shareholders meeting where i will also be monitoring the developments as they unfold ok and we'll be going over to you live thank you very much. there on those cross the board cuts at. the soaring trade in illegal animal trophies is thanks to the internet forget any progress conservationists thought they were making the global demand is there and your purchase of an exotic parrot or some rhino horn is just

a click away. around one hundred fifty years ago africa was home to millions of rhinos and allison's since then their populations have been devastated and now due to a surge in poaching they're facing extinction in the wild national parks have to employ security guards to protect the animals from hunters but they're often to lace as in the case of these elephants killed for their ivory tusks ivory fin high demand globally it's used to make religious figurines artworks and jewelry and it's often available on the internet. stuff at the international fund for animal welfare spend weeks surfing through more than one hundred internet portals targeting users in germany france britain and russia they found thousands of offering life wild animals and animal products worth millions of dollars. it takes just a few clicks to purchase rare animals like exotic birds reptiles and primates the legal wildlife trade is estimated to be worth at least nineteen billion u.s.

dollars a year when it comes to criminal activity only drugs kind if it products and human trafficking are more lucrative if the hunting isn't halted in a few years there may be no rhinos or elephants at all left in the wild in africa. well educating people helps i asked an author of the report only of the whole wildlife trade all that says if people understand when they're buying ivory they're killing elephants. yes that's hard to understand that still obviously people do not understand that every means at that elephant and possibly some people think ok that's an antique car term what does that where's the link to poaching but we know i for one know that one ever out there is that offshore ivory off whenever there is on the market this fuels the demand and in the end this fuels

also the poaching on elephants in africa because the legal trait still existing in germany and europe the legal trade and illegal trade are very close connected but we are talking about the earth's the planet's bio diversity i mean this is a huge threat not only to other animals existence but i guess also two l's. it is and the unlined trait isn't significant part of the global wildlife trait and this trait fuels the poaching and fuel city mont for exotic animals such as big snakes parrots are. reptiles and the demand for products such as ivory so the online trade is an indigenous threat for the buyer he wants a t. for the survival of many many species thank you whole bunch of there for us the

report and author of that report thank you very much for joining us there from hamburg. we'll come. oco incidentally hamburg will be the first german city to introduce a diesel ban due to high air pollution from thursday of next week older diesels that is models that do not meet the so-called euro six emissions standards beef of britain from driving in certain sectors or certain sections of two therof is last week or last year or the dozens of german cities were found to have exceeded emissions limits several other german cities a mulling similar bans. more and more countries are trying to get electric vehicles onto the road china especially you can even see blue sky in some of its cities china just recorded the highest number of newly registered eview goals in twenty seventeen with more than half a million new cars on the roads the u.s. was in second place germany was in fifth but when you look at the statistics in

a different way the share of electric cars for example a different picture emerges while china has the most cars in total only two point three percent are electric in norway over a third of all cars are electric one of the main challenges is infrastructure electric car owners need access to charging points becoming more common in major cities but are still hard to find in other areas. one way to reduce emissions is to get people out of their cars and into public transportation ideally that should run on electricity to one polish company is at the forefront of the shift towards greener public transport. here in the polish city of poznan heavy traffic and poor air quality are part of daily life that's prompted authorities to set their sights on electric mobility first stop public transport one company at the

forefront of the industry is some lloris. the family run business was founded back in two thousand and one the company's c.e.o. and co-founder has been in the emo bill as he game for well over a decade. we saw that electric buses were the future my husband presented our first hybrid bus at the hanover fair in two thousand and six it wasn't a fully team bus run by batteries but in a press conference at the time he said diesel is dead it's all about alec tricity at the time no one took it seriously no one believed that zero emissions buses were the future of. the buses are necessarily one hundred percent clean whether or not they can be described as such depends on the kind of electricity that powers them still they're much greener than their diesel counterparts and many european cities have been investing in them despite their higher cost.

so. buses have an advantage over eight car as. we know the routes how often they operate and what distances are involved. so we can plan accordingly to ensure that it operates like a diesel run bus would. it's certainly an efficient system but on the downside it's not very flexible and then there's the problem of charging up just as it used to be with mobile phones not all eve buses can use the same charging equipment despite those challenges there are ready to size d. buses on the roads in europe. one hundred and fifty of them come from the celera stock in your pos none with the order books full on demand rising the company needs funds in order to expound cash is that it of on that investor. that we need investors because innovation is expensive. right now we have
